Chapter 1670 The Perfection of the True Immortal Puppet

"Om-"

His immortal body trembled violently, and a dazzling golden light erupted from his spine!

The instincts of the True Immortal's body seemed to be resisting the external power of the Heavenly Dragon.

Zhang Xuan was well-prepared. He fully activated the newly established Great Dao Imprint, while simultaneously mobilizing the vast spiritual energy within his body to suppress and harmonize it.

This is a slow integration process.

The golden liquid transformed from the Heavenly Dragon Bone, with its unparalleled strength and resilience, gradually seeped into the dragon bones of the powerful immortal's spine.

From this central point, countless tiny golden energy threads emanated, spreading outwards to every part of the body.

This process is repeated every time a piece of Heavenly Dragon Bone is incorporated.

The second bone was integrated into the left arm bone, the third into the right arm bone, the fourth into the left leg bone, and the fifth into the right leg bone.

The five Heavenly Dragon Bones correspond to the main bones of the torso and limbs, respectively, forming a dragon-patterned skeleton covering the entire body.

The whole process took another ten years.

When the last leg bone was completely fused, a barely perceptible golden dragon-shaped pattern would occasionally flash across the surface of the True Immortal's body. The pressure emanating from it was a mixture of the True Immortal's etherealness and the Heavenly Dragon's domineering power, making it even more majestic.

The vitality of the immortal body was further stimulated.

The skeleton is complete; the next step is to integrate the remnant soldier with the life-slaying technique.

This step is the most dangerous.

The ferocious Daoist aura of the Blade of Slaughter could, if not handled carefully, not only damage Zhang Xuan's immortal body but also backfire on him.

He swallowed several seventh-tier golden pills to bring himself to peak condition.

He carefully took out the remnant of the weapon, the Slaughtering Life.

The moment the short blade appeared, a chilling and resolute killing intent spread out.

He did not directly infuse it into his immortal body, but instead first mixed his own essence blood with hundreds of top-grade eighth-order spiritual materials to refine a complex spirit-binding blood pact.

The Blood Pact of Binding Spirits was bound with chains of blood-red light, which coiled around the short blade.

"Buzzing—"

The Blade of Destruction trembled violently, emitting a mournful cry.

That force that severed cause and effect attempted to tear apart the blood pact.

Zhang Xuan groaned, feeling a sharp pain in his divine sense.

He activated the fundamental laws of cause and effect with all his might, and the phantom of the Wheel of Cause and Effect faintly appeared behind him, forcibly suppressing this power.

“I know you are extraordinary, silent for eternity, your brilliance obscured by dust. Now I grant you the body of a true immortal, so that your ability to sever karma can truly manifest in the world, instead of being trapped in a broken blade…” Zhang Xuan conveyed the message with his divine sense, both to reassure and to make a promise.

This is a contest of wills.

Zhang Xuan fought against the deadly blade for seven long years with great perseverance.

Perhaps attracted by the aura of the true immortal's body, the resistance of the Life-Slaying Blade gradually subsided, and it began to merge with the blood pact.

The time has come!

Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed, and he guided the temporarily bound Blade of Destruction, transforming it into a dark red stream of light that shot straight toward the right hand bone of the True Immortal's body!

"laugh!"

It was not the sound of flesh being torn apart, but a strange sound of Daoist energy merging together.

The Blade of Destruction was directly integrated into the right palm bone of the Immortal Puppet, combining with the essence of the Heavenly Dragon Dao Bone that had previously been integrated into this area.

In an instant, the celestial puppet's entire right hand turned into a color interwoven with dark gold and blood red, and an incomparably sharp and terrifying aura soared into the sky.

Zhang Xuan swiftly deployed the half-step eighth-order natural array created by the powerful being of the Shangjing Immortal Mansion, firmly sealing this aura. At the same time, he deeply imprinted his own causal imprint into it, ensuring that this power to sever causality would ultimately only obey him.

All the core materials have been integrated. The next step is the final and most crucial one: spirit infusion and core control.

The so-called "spirit initiation" does not mean giving it a real life and soul, but rather using a fragment of its own divine soul origin, combined with secret techniques, to create an absolutely obedient control core.

The core control involves perfectly fusing this core with the immortal body, dragon skeleton, and life-slaying blade, making them a unified whole.

Zhang Xuan's expression was solemn; this method had caused him considerable harm.

He took a deep breath, activated his secret technique, and a ray of light flashed between his brows. A wisp of extremely refined essence, containing a portion of his divine soul, was slowly extracted.

This wisp of divine soul essence was refined using a secret technique.

Gradually, a small figure with a halo that resembled Zhang Xuan's face took shape; this was the puppet's true spirit.

"go with!"

Zhang Xuan guided the puppet's true spirit to fly towards the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows of the true immortal's body.

The moment the true spirit entered, the entire immortal body burst forth with unprecedented light!

Inside the immortal's chest cavity, the heart began to beat, emitting a dull sound.

Throughout his limbs and bones, the golden network derived from the Heavenly Dragon Bone was fully illuminated.

Within his right arm, the ferocious Daoist aura of the Blade of Destruction was stirred by the True Spirit, lying dormant docilely, ready to unleash a fatal blow at any moment.

Zhang Xuan felt a blood-and-flesh connection established between himself and this immortal puppet.

With a slight thought, the immortal puppet slowly opened its eyes!

Those were such indifferent eyes, as deep as the starry sea, devoid of any emotion, containing only absolute obedience and icy killing intent.

He made another thought, and the celestial puppet raised its hand, without activating any magic power, but simply using its physical strength to gently slash forward.

"Tear-!"

The void ahead was easily torn open, leaving a dark rift millions of miles long that could not be healed for a long time!

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Zhang Xuan's face.

He could sense that the strength of this True Immortal Puppet had definitely reached the peak of the Mahayana realm.

"Unfortunately, the immortal river opened up by the true immortals and the immortal trees nurtured by them are completely unusable. We can only use this powerful body of a true immortal." Zhang Xuan sighed.

However, with this puppet protecting him, he has the confidence to deal with or even counter terrifying beings below the True Immortal level.

More importantly, his ultimate control over the Great Dao imprint during the refining process gave him a deeper understanding of his newly formed Mahayana realm, and the ethereal Great Dao tree seemed to solidify into an almost imperceptible wisp as a result.

With a thought, the True Immortal Puppet transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into his sleeve, vanishing without a trace.

"It's time to go and see the Hall of Myriad Phenomena."

The next moment, he appeared in the Myriad Manifestations Hall of the Floating Divine City.

Upon entering the Hall of Myriad Phenomena, he saw countless light screens floating in the air, scrolling with various information from the Nine Divine Realms and numerous ancient secret realms, including requests for purchases, sales, hiring, and exploration.

The lowest level of the cultivators coming and going was the peak of the Integration Stage.

Zhang Xuan's appearance did not attract much attention. Although Mahayana cultivators were not common in the Floating Divine City, they were by no means rare.

He walked straight into the depths of the main hall, which was where the Wanxiang Business Alliance issued its highest-level missions.

Only Mahayana cultivators or core members who possess the Seven-Patterned Starry Sky Token are qualified to view it.

Several figures with profound auras had already stopped in front of the jade disc.

Zhang Xuan's gaze swept across the area and he saw the Ice Fairy, whom he had met once before, gazing intently at a certain spot on the jade wall.

The other one is Xuan Kong Dao Jun, who is wearing a Bagua Taoist robe.

In addition, there was an old woman wearing blood-red armor.

Zhang Xuan nodded slightly in greeting, and Fairy Binglan and Daoist Xuankong returned the nod as a form of greeting.

The two were not surprised at all that Zhang Xuan had advanced from the half-step Mahayana stage to the Mahayana stage.

After all, the other party is someone that Master Wanbao values, and he even won a suitable Dao Source Treasure at the last auction. If he hasn't advanced to the Mahayana stage yet, that would be too unreasonable.
